Abstract

Structural modifications within the active site of the ACTH molecule have produced analogs that inhibit the hormone sensitive adenylate cyclase system of bovine adrenal cortical plasma membranes. It is demonstrated that the tryptophan residue of the ACTH molecule is essential for stimulation of the enzyme. Substitution of tryptophan by phenylalanine or by N(alpha)-methyltryptophan as in [Gln(5), Phe(9)]corticotropin(1-20) amide or [N(alpha)-Metrp(9)]corticotropin(1-24) provides ACTH analogs that exhibit high affinity for the ACTH receptor(s) but fail to activate the adenylate cyclase system. It is concluded that affinity for the receptors alone is not sufficient for expression of hormonal activity. The observation that adrenal cortical adenylate cyclase activated by fluoride ion is not inhibited by the antagonists indicates that hormonal and fluoride activation proceed via different mechanisms.

  • Hoffman developed an ACTH analog in which the Trp residue at position 9 of the HFRW message sequence was substituted with Phe or N-methyl Trp, and showed inhibition of ACTH-stimulated cAMP generation on bovine adrenal membranes.

    “Hoffman therefore used a different approach and developed an analog in which the Trp residue at position 9 of the HFRW message sequence was substituted with Phe or N-methyl Trp, and showed inhibition of ACTH stimulated cAMP generation on bovine adrenal membranes (55).”

    From ACTH Antagonists (2016) · cites this paper as [55]

    The Results and Discussion (page unavailable) report that both Trp9-substituted analogs inhibited ACTH-stimulated adenylate cyclase in bovine adrenal cortical membranes; the Methods state that cAMP was measured. The Methods also say the Phe9 analog was prepared in the authors’ laboratories, but the N-methyl-Trp analog was a gift from Dr. W. Rittel, so attributing development of both analogs to Hofmann overstates the source. (LLM, conf=0.88)

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
